For most creatures if you take their head off they'll die. Why choose a snake? Matter of fact, snakes bodies will twich for a long time after the head is taken off (just ask me and my lawnmower...poor little thing...well 6 foot black snake actually).

How come no one in the media has called out Tuck for comments like these? They are far more inflammatory than Tom Brady hoping for a party next week. Notice that punk ass NY media has decided to twist his words into parade rather than party. He never mentioned the word PARADE.

Giants talking a lot of smack but this isn't really one of those cases. Tuck is merely saying you stop Brady, you stop the offense, and he's right. But I can guarantee you that offensive line is going to do their damnedest to protect the "head".

Of course, if Wilfork said the same thing about Eli, the media would be all like "OH NOES Pats want to cheat and play dirty by injuring Eli!!!"

I don' t think there's much of a story here. He's just sayinh the giants are going to have to go after brady if the gnats are going to win. Tuck certainly didn't say "we're going to take care of brady" like the OP says.

Giants fan here. I think this is a bit overblown. Tuck's metaphor that one kills a snake by cutting off its head was not meant to call Tom Brady a snake. That metaphor is as old as time and is a proverb for many different cultures and even goes back to the Bible. It just means that one defeats an enemy by taking out the head-- and Tom Brady is the head of the Patriots team (in terms of players).

It also wasn't meant to be an implication of dirty play, but rather that the Giants need to rattle Brady, get him off his spot, collapse the pocket, and contain him.

Good luck next Sunday. May the game be decided by the players and not by the refs.

Agreed.

The Giants should remember that this works both ways. I think the NY O-Line is more vulnerable than ours right now. They got abused so badly in the NFCCG that a few of them are technically married to the Smiths and Ray Macdonald in CA now.

The Giants have one of the worst O-Lines in the league both in the running game and passing game. Wilfork is a monster in the middle, but I'm hoping that the GIants O-Line can double on him and force other Patriots to get to Eli, which wasn't a strategy the Giants could employ against SF. We'll see how it all shakes out.
